A detailed discussion of them will appear in Chapter Three, “The Shaykh’s Articles,” pp. 139 and 141.

Third category: studies excerpted from his own books; they are:

Some items in this third category were cited without a source in the Shaykh’s books, but I searched the relevant places in his works and located them.

As for what appears in the first and second categories, I have incorporated them into this register. What belongs to the third category I have left out—its reason is obvious, and one may say of it what was said about the book Ḥukm Tārik al-Ṣalāh. Success lies with Allah.
